Faith Neptune Trembesi

The Neptune small-jumbo body style, based on Patrick James Eggle's Saluda, has already figured in the Faith catalogue as one of the two high-end, PJE-made Carolina Series, but it's now being rolled out - in both non-cut and cutaway variants - to the brand's Indonesian-made Natural, HiGloss and Eclipse series.

It really is a very desirable, great-playing, well-priced guitar, built to a high standard. In a series context, the Trembesis look to be a significant addition to Faith's already strong, high-value brand image.

MusicRadar's verdict:

"New body style, new tonewood: it doesn't take a leap of, er, faith to enjoy this successful partnership."
